Chapter 942 Gambling Fight
The sky was getting brighter behind the mountains of the Feixiong tribe.

Tiele, wearing a cloak alone, slowly descended from the sky.

He resisted the urge to cough and glanced around.

"You came."

Not far away, Huo Yaer's voice came, and then her figure walked out from under a big tree at the foot of the mountain and said slowly: "Master Zuling will be here soon, wait a moment."

Seeing her, Tiele's expression eased a little: "Are you okay?"

"Well, I'm fine."

Huo Yaer looked at him with a complicated look: "But you are very bad."

She is the girl in the ancestral tomb, but she also inherited the memories left in Huoyar's body. She knows best what Tiele has experienced over the years.

For them, it is an extremely difficult task to welcome back the ancestral spirits. The little prince Manar had made an attempt a few years ago and almost succeeded that time. Tiele also provided a lot of help to his son, but... in the end he still got nothing.

Not only that, he also took advantage of his favorite son.

Tiele tried countless ways to move south, but without exception, all those plans were shattered by Hong Ruohai and Mingjian Pavilion.

No matter how hard he tried, the Northern Frontier Army and Mingjian Pavilion were like two huge mountains standing in front of him.

Three years ago, there was civil strife in Yan State, which was the closest Tiele had ever come to success...but unexpectedly, the Northern Frontier Army was not affected by the civil strife at all, and was still able to guard the border and hold on for three years!

And now...

He will soon die with regret.

Now Huoyar does not like Tiele's warmongering plan. Too many people have died in wars over the years. This is unacceptable to her, who has the idea of ​​cherishing life in Qiluo Palace firmly engraved in her heart.

This is also the reason why she finally agreed to help Fu Qingzhou.

But this did not prevent her from...feeling a trace of pity in Tiele's final moments of life.

"don’t worry."

Tiele keenly noticed the pity in her eyes, but thought she was just worried about his health, so he smiled and said, "My old bones can still hold on, it's no problem."

Huo Yaer hesitated to speak.

Fortunately, Fu Qingzhou came at this time.

A beam of green light flew over from the other side of the Feixiong Tribe's mountains and landed under the gaze of the two men.

"Ancestor." Tiele immediately bowed slightly in salute.

However, Huoyar did not move, but just sighed softly.

This time, Tiele finally noticed something was wrong.

He frowned and looked up at Fu Qingzhou.

Fu Qingzhou did not play any more riddles, but smiled slightly: "Let's get to know each other again, Tiele Khan... I am not your ancestor, I am Fu Qingzhou."

Tiele's pupils shrank sharply!

He suddenly turned his head and glared at Huoyar!

Huo Yaer nodded helplessly.

"How can this be!"

Tiele gritted his teeth and said, "How could you...you..."

"Don't think too much. It's hard to explain. I'm sure you're even more unwilling to waste time than I am." Fu Qingzhou interrupted him and said, "Let's talk."

Tiele had a gloomy face, raised his hand, and the big knife was already on his shoulder!
"We have nothing to talk about."

He said in a fierce voice: "You want to take advantage of my serious injury and sneak in? Then try it!"

After he finished speaking, a wave of wind suddenly burst out around him, blowing away the surrounding grass and trees and causing sand and rocks to fly everywhere!
"Don't worry."

Fu Qingzhou stood still and said calmly: "Here are two choices for you. Listen to them and then decide whether to take action or not."

Tiele Tiger's eyes narrowed slightly, but the accumulated sword force in his body did not weaken at all, and was still rising steadily.

"The first option is that I'll give you a chance to gamble. Huo Ya'er won't make a move. It's just you and me." Fu Qingzhou raised a finger and said calmly, "We can talk about the gamble. If you win, we won't stop you. You go back safely, expose my scam, and immediately attack the Feixiong tribe. Before Marshal Hong and his men arrive, seize the Feixiong tribe's resources and use it as a fortress to fight against the Northern Frontier Army."

"If I win, I won't stop you if you choose to be tied up or commit suicide. At the same time, I promise you that the Northern Frontier Army will never slaughter your Northern Barbarian Army, let alone the Northern Barbarians. At most, we will just kill some of the stubborn resistance. The Northern Barbarians will have a better Khan, and with the support of the Yan Kingdom, they will slowly get rid of poverty and live a prosperous life."

Tiele sneered: "Is this the wealth gained by being a slave?"

“No one will enslave you.”

Fu Qingzhou remained calm: "But I won't say nice things either. From now on, the Northern Barbarians will be a vassal of the Yan Kingdom. They must pay tribute every year, and the Khan must come to the capital to pay homage to the emperor. From now on, they will be called subjects."

Tiele had a gloomy face and said nothing.

"As for the second option..."

Fu Qingzhou raised his second finger: "Let's fight now. You try to kill me, and Huo Yaer and I try to kill you. Let's fight to the death. As for what happens next, we won't care."

Tiele's breathing became heavier.

He turned to look at Huo Yaer and said in a deep voice: "I want you to give me an explanation."

"can."

Huo Yaer was silent for a moment, then said briefly: "The real Huo Yaer is dead. I am just a fragment of her soul that was separated many years ago. I also retain her... compassion and respect for all people and things outside of Beiyi."

"I see."

Tiele was not surprised, but nodded: "No wonder your aura has not changed at all, even I can't detect the slightest change... It turns out that you are the part that she left in the tomb of the founder of Qiluo Palace."

He looked at Fu Qingzhou again: "You are more capable than I thought."

It turned out that he also knew that Huo Yaer had left a split soul in the ancestor's tomb.

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "Great Khan, what are you going to choose?"

"..."

Tiele looked at him solemnly and said slowly: "I never make conditions when facing the enemy. Of the two choices you just gave, I think the only option is to fight to the death."

Fu Qingzhou's eyes were slightly strange.

"but."

Tiele changed the subject: "Now, I really want to kill you."

Fu Qingzhou smiled: "Under the siege of Huo Yaer and I, you are not sure."

"Yes, the Khan is old and injured."

Tiele said calmly, without any trace of vicissitudes: "If I fight you alone, I have a chance to kill you."

"So you accepted my invitation to the fight."

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "I would also like to confirm whether you, Great Khan, can accept the terms of the gambling fight?"

After saying that, he looked at Huo Yaer.

Huo Yaer said hoarsely: "I can be a witness and make a contract for the fight between the two of you. If you violate the contract, your blood will boil and you will die, your soul will be destroyed, and you will never be able to reincarnate."

"..."

Tiele thought about it for a while, and finally nodded vigorously: "Okay! Fight!"

"You and I will each use one move, just this one move!"

"With our cultivation, there is no need to judge the winner in other ways. You and I know the winner in our hearts... After one move, the winner is the winner and the loser is the loser!"

Fu Qingzhou knew that Tiele had chosen the most cost-effective approach.

Given the opponent's current physical condition, a long battle would be most disadvantageous.

Deciding the outcome with just one move would allow Tiele to display his abilities to the greatest extent possible.

"it is good."

Fu Qingzhou did not refuse or bargain, but just nodded: "Then, the victory or defeat will be determined in one move."
